The first site that I visited for CEL was VisAbility which provides blind and vision rehabilitation services. Here I contributed to the Community Transition Program. At this site I learned how to plan and lead group activities which helped me grow in my confidence of working with clients and learn the value of OT in the blind population. 

The CEL site I am currently visiting is the St. Anthony's School Programs Transition Apartment. This site involves working with individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) in post-secondary education at Duquesne University. At the transition apartment, I work with the students on learning important everyday life skills to promote their independence. 

For Fieldwork I, I will be visiting the UPMC White Oak Outpatient Rehabilitation Institute. At this site, I will get to work with a variety of clients and understand what it is like to work in an outpatient setting. Here I will gain new clinical knowledge that will support me for when I enter the field as a practicing OT. 

My Fieldwork II placement will be at UPMC East in inpatient rehab. Here I will gain a better understanding of the inpatient setting and be able to put my clinical skills into hands-on practice with clients.
